Acosta leads rider rankings after Indonesian MotoGP weekend
The Indonesian Grand Prix was held at Mandalika, where MotoGP riders competed in a sprint and a grand prix.
The rider rankings weighed performances across qualifying and both races.
Acosta finished sixth in the sprint and fifth in the grand prix, and was the fastest KTM rider in every session.
That consistency put him ahead in the rankings, even though he did not win either race.
Bezzecchi won Sunday’s grand prix, while Marquez won the sprint.
Fernandez finished second in the grand prix despite fractures to two fingers, after crashing out of the sprint.
The weekend’s results had limited effect on the title contest: Bezzecchi gained three points on Marquez and Martin.
Pedro Acosta led The Race’s rider rankings after the Indonesian Grand Prix weekend.
Acosta was the fastest KTM rider in every session and finished fifth in the grand prix.
Raul Fernandez qualified first but crashed out of the sprint and raced the grand prix with fractures to two fingers.
Fabio Di Giannantonio won the sprint, while Marco Bezzecchi won the grand prix.
The Race said the decision over its top-ranked rider was close.
